Tysons Corner Roof Repair

This video points out what caused this Tysons Corner roof repair job and how it was completed to prevent future leaks

When you look at this picture of a Tysons Corner roof repair job, you can see this is a very steep roof, and these types of homes are always a little bit more expensive to repair because of its difficulty.

Now, where you see the blue dotted lines, that’s where the water was leaking inside their home and was going all the way down into their basement.

When I looked at this roof very carefully, I noticed that there was quite a few different issues that needed to be corrected.

One thing is, this gutter here was sagging ever so slightly in the middle, so what will happen is when it rains very heavy, not only will the water overflow over the front, the water will go over the back and settle inside the open-wall cavity.

Now what we’ll do here is remove all the spikes that are holding this gutter into place. Lift it up as high as we can on the right side. Lift it up ever so slightly where it’s sagging. And drop down the left side, so this way the water flows to the downspout.

Now here, in between the red dotted lines, it’s improper fastening procedures of an architectural roof shingle. I see this quite often from roofers who are in such a rush to get the job done and they’re not paying attention to where they’re fastening each and every shingle.

And this can cause all sorts of problems, because one nailed exposed at the joint can cause that leak. So what we’ll do is we’re going to lift every shingle, any nail that is exposed where they join together, we’ll seal it, flash it, and re-seal it again. That will take care of this problem.

Now here on the left side of the gable, you have where this roof meets up against the gabled roof is a single cut close type valley like there is on this side and there’s nails exposed right in the middle of the valley center line. So when it rains heavy, the water’s going underneath that single cut valley, finding the nail, and leaking down inside the wall.

So we’re going to remove all the roofing material on both sides of the valley, install ice and water shield, and then re-shingle that area.

Once all these procedures are done, this homeowner will not have any more problems. To request a free Tysons Corner roof repair estimate, please fill out our contact form.
